Title: Identification of sources of media traffic through a network
Inventor: PETER NEAL
IPC: H04W12/12
Filed: 2015-01-30
Abstract: A method for identifying one or more unauthorised routes used for the termination of application-to-person (A2P) short message service (SMS) messages to a mobile telecommunications network, and a system for use in performing the method. An application service is stimulated to generate an A2P SMS message 210, and to send it to a collection point 220. The message is processed to obtain an identifier identifying a source of the message (a unique network address associated with a network element used to route the message to the mobile telecommunications network, such as a Global Title, GB) 230, and it is determined whether the identifier corresponds to an authorised source of A2P SMS traffic to the network 240. Stimulating the application service to send an SMS message comprises: authenticating to the application service; entering a functional element within the service that requires delivery of an SMS message to an end user; identifying the collection point to the service; and executing the service function. Uncovers the passage of unauthorised media traffic through a network so that such traffic may be reduced or blocked.

Title: A similarity module, a local computer, a server of a data hosting service and associated methods
Inventor: BO HU
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2015-09-28
Abstract: A similarity module is arranged to identify whether a local data file is identical in whole or in part to existing files stored by a data hosting service, the local and existing files being hierarchically structured. The similarity module is configured to compare local file metadata with metadata of existing files and identify as candidate matches existing files which metadata matches the local file metadata to a predetermined extent. A local file checksum is then compared with checksums of the candidate existing files and if there is a match, the local file is identified as a duplicate file of the candidate existing file. If there is no match, the module compares local segment checksums with existing segment checksums from the candidate existing files, wherein the segment checksums have been generated by semantically segmenting the local and existing files following the hierarchy to divide them vertically and horizontally into segments. If the checksums of a local segment and an existing file segment match, a local segment is identified as a duplicate segment. The similarity module may be located on a local computer or on the server.

Title: System and method for radio communication
Inventor: MOHAMMED ALLOULAH
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2016-05-20
Abstract: A patient monitoring method is proposed. Samples from a medical signal including a periodic component are collected at respective times. Using the period of the periodic component of the medical signal, the samples are formed into square matrices, and each matrix is encoded using Fourier transformation, to give a transformed matrix. Then a threshold is applied to the transformed matrix to set values below the threshold to zero, thereby generating a thresholded matrix. The thresholded matrix is encoded using run-length encoding in the diagonal direction, to generate (i) coefficient data encoding the non-zero elements of the thresholded matrix, and (ii) meta-data encoding the positions of the non-zero elements of the thresholded matrix. The coefficient data and the metadata are transmitted. From the transmitted signal information about the medical signal can he re-constructed.

Title: Vehicle navigation system with customizable searching scope
Inventor: PAUL WHELLER
IPC: G01C21/36
Filed: 2016-07-15
Abstract: A vehicle navigation system comprises a user interface and a controller. The user interface, such as a touch screen or gesture recognition system, receives user input regarding a criterion of interest to the user and a desired search area within which to identify a location satisfying the criterion. The controller determines a current position and direction of the vehicle and identifies locations within the search area relative to the vehicle position that satisfy the criterion, i.e. identifying a point of interest (POI). The controller causes the user interface to provide an output on a display screen that includes an indication of the desired search area and any identified locations of interest, it may also include an indication of the current location of the vehicle. The desired search area may be set using gestures, e.g. swiping or moving two fingers, on the touch screen, which may also be used to request more information about a displayed location of interest.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for providing communication based on predefined authenticated configuration. The system includes a contextual scanning reader device providing a mechanism of automatic pre-authentication of user identity without requiring user to enter login ID and password. When an action is triggered on reader device upon scanning a machine readable code (such barcode, virtual symbol, NFC/RFID tag etc.), it recognizes digitally encoded data using a reader/scanner. The decoded information is identified and associated with plurality of third party servers for service related information. This decoded information is supplemented with user contextual information such as identity, location, preferences or any other related information to make it a complete or better context for a third party service pre-authentication. Once the user is pre-authenticated with this information it is transmitted to the third party server. The third party server verifies the information received and generates the associated input response on device via application interface.
